Heikki Linnakangas cd87b6f8a5 Fix an old bug in multixact and two-phase commit. Prepared transactions can
be part of multixacts, so allocate a slot for each prepared transaction in
the "oldest member" array in multixact.c. On PREPARE TRANSACTION, transfer
the oldest member value from the current backends slot to the prepared xact
slot. Also save and recover the value from the 2pc state file.

The symptom of the bug was that after a transaction prepared, a shared lock
still held by the prepared transaction was sometimes ignored by other
transactions.

Fix back to 8.1, where both 2PC and multixact were introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
